Most plastic surgeons are trained to look at a face from the front and make their assessment and recommendations based on this one angle. And when they look in the mirror, many facial plastic surgery patients in Toronto do the same thing. Although we all know that the frontal view is the most important, one …

My own mother, who is a grandmother, has been feeling "left out” as she keeps reading about my famous Toronto mommy makeovers. And she is right, of course; she is my mother. She is right because I should also discuss what is available to our healthy, young-hearted grandmothers. Humour aside, there is no doubt that grandmothers …

During my 15 years of experience in Toronto, I have categorized recovery from plastic surgery into 3 types, and the 3 often overlap: the functional part, the pain & discomfort part, and the “social” part.

Now, of course, not all facelift procedures are equal ... As many of my patients know, I trained …
